    Can you not add your other search terms in the sublisting section.......that way it still gets picked up in the searches. You are not altering your Title and only adding information.


    I am pretty sure that will work (fingers crossed!!)

    when you said the above how certain were you???????!

    It transpires this doens't work, you can only revise your item if the bidders retract their bids. So i have now lost my bidders and I am still unable to revise the title. Its going from bad to worse for me.

    Anyway I can pull the listing,revise and resubmit without incurring the listing fee's again?

    thansk people and i have a safety net on price ( a reserve!!)

    If you have a reserve then what should it matter. Your reserve should be the minimum price you want for the item anyway. Anything then over that price is a bonus. At least thats what i think.

    valid point but if the target audience are missing my item (due to my foolish omission of THE key search criteria from the title) then I am not going to get the TOP price for my item.

    I don't understand why you can't change stuff. You do have longer than 12 hrs left on the auction right? Are you changing it right?

    Aguta - you can't change certain elements of a listing -eg. title,price, duration etc once people have bid on your item. All you are allowed to do is 'add' information but this doensthelp as i want to revise the title. It's a rather annoying part of ebay ...at least from my perspective!!!
